Passage - 2 The miseries of the world cannot be cured by physical help only. Until man's nature changes, his physical needs will always arise, and miseries will always be felt, and no amount of physical help will remove them completely. The only solution of the problem is to make mankind pure. Ignorance is the mother of evil and of all the misery we sec. Let men have light, let them be pure and spiritually strong and educated; then alone will misery cease in the world. We may convert every house in the country into a charitable asylum, we may fill the land with hospitals, but human misery will continue until man's character changes. According to the passage, which of the following statements is most likely to be true as the reason for man's miseries?

Accepted Answer

The passage explicitly states that miseries will continue until mans nature and character change. It emphasizes that physical help, hospitals, and charity are insufficient because the root cause of misery lies in ignorance and the internal state of mankind. Therefore, the primary reason misery persists is that mans character remains unchanged. Option B directly reflects this central argument by identifying the lack of change in mans character as the reason for continued misery. Other options focus on physical or social factors which the author specifically dismisses as secondary to the need for spiritual and character transformation.
